Staff from Equipment Services, along with the Fire Department's Apparatus <br />Committee have been working with Seagrave Fire Apparatus on vehicle specifications and <br />optional equipment which meets Redwood City's aerial truck standard. Seagrave <br />Apparatus was the lowest responsible bidder for the Somerville, NJ Fire Department's bid <br />in which the Borough of Somerville and the City of Carlsbad, CA each purchased one. <br /> <br />Cooperative purchasing provisions make it possible for cities to realize significant savings <br />from larger volume purchases. The base unit price per the Somerville, NJ Fire Department <br />specification is $811,333.75. With the addition of optional equipment, the total price for <br />Redwood City's unit will be $827,235.68. <br /> <br />Redwood City has used Seagrave's services in the past and currently has a fire pumper <br />truck on order with them. We have found Seagrave to be a reputable dealer that has over <br />500 fire trucks in the State of California. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />If approved, delivery of this aerial truck will be within the next 12 to 14 months. The <br />alternative of going out to bid would probably not result in any cost savings, since the <br />Somerville, NJ Fire Department's bid was a recent competitive bid process in which <br />Seagrave was the lowest responsible bidder. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Funds for the purchase of this replacement fire engine were approved by the City Council <br />in the Fiscal Year 2006/2007 EqUiP~, eP.Ojlacement Fund Budget in the amount of <br />$828,000.00.
